The Security Advisory tells nothing about this. Do you have the full source code installed on the system? You may only have the kernel, which will have the "sys" directory under /usr/src and little else. Full source on my 6.2 system has 19 directories under /usr/src, including /usr/src/usr.bin which has a good portion of the "user land" code. I've done the patches quite a few times with no hitches. -Rob
